In fact, she wanted to punch George's head off!
"No wonder you were so excited just now. If that's the case, then it would be unreasonable for me not to give you a copy of the latest comic book!"
George found a pen, added a new line of words where the signature should be, and then enthusiastically stuffed "Legend of the Sword Master" into Xia Yi's hands.
"Ms. Xia Yi, please accept it. This is the only limited edition in the world!"
When Xia Yi saw the words on it, she almost couldn't help but tear the comic book into pieces.
[To the most loyal fan of the human swordsman - Miss Xia Yi, I hope you can be like the swordsman in "Legend of the Swordsman"! ]
"Like the protagonist in "Legend of the Sword Master"? I'm so happy, so happy, ahahaha..."
Xia Yi was thinking on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking that she would burn this comic book later!
"Ms. Xia Yi, as long as you like it, haha!"
George smiled heartily, still the same thick-skinned and big-hearted as before.
"George, you come back so suddenly?" Martha asked.
"Teacher Martha, I came to Rhineland to promote comics because of the publisher's request. After the event, I thought I still had some time, so I came back here to take a look!" George explained, "I also brought some comics for the children to read. These are my latest masterpieces, and the plots have been recognized by the Schubert family!"
"Are you the only one back? Where are the others?" Xia Yi asked without thinking.
"Others, Miss Xia Yi, who are you referring to?" George looked a little strange.
Xia Yi found that she seemed to have said something wrong again.
Oh no, when I returned to Chunfeng Orphanage and saw my childhood playmates and teacher Martha, I became a little too relaxed.
"Nothing, I was just asking casually, like who are your classmates or something..."
"Oh, them! They are all very busy. Everyone's return time may not match up, and some people can't be contacted at all."
As he spoke, George showed a somewhat sad expression.
"Well, for example, my childhood friend once taught himself swordsmanship and said he wanted to protect everyone, but after being adopted by a noble, there was no news of him anymore..."
Xia Yi knew who George was talking about.
In fact, I was standing right in front of him, but I couldn't explain it.
The Schubert family wanted to hide Wright's background.
The people in Chunfeng Orphanage did not know that the nobles who adopted them were actually the Schubert family, and they did not know that they would later become the human swordsman.
Everyone's impression of themselves only stays in their childhood.
In a sense, it is a strange coincidence that George became the cartoonist who depicts the story of the Sword Master.
……
Xia Yi first left Chunfeng Orphanage and met with the servants from the Lawrence family who came with her. She told them that she would stay for one night and asked them to find a place to spend the night and leave the next day.
After dealing with all these, she returned to Chunfeng Orphanage. It was almost time for dinner.
"Ms. Xia Yi, are you back?" Martha came out to greet her.
"Well, I have already told the servants of our family that I will stay here tonight." Xia Yi replied.
"Ms. Xia Yi, look, this is osmanthus cake, which I made just now."
Martha took out a box of osmanthus cake.
Suddenly, Xia Yi's eyes widened, and there was only osmanthus cake in her eyes.
"Please try it."
Xia Yi's hands began to tremble as she took the box, from which emanated the unique, faint scent of osmanthus.
Even though it had been many years since he had tasted the osmanthus cake from Chunfeng Orphanage, when he smelled the scent again, his body immediately recalled it.
She picked up a piece and took a small bite.
Fragrant and soft, not sweet at all.
It’s exactly the same as before, it was my favorite flavor before.
"Ms. Xia Yi, what's wrong with you?" Martha was a little surprised.
"what happened?"
"You cried."
"what?"
Xia Yi only then realized that she was so immersed in the nostalgic dessert that she actually cried.
How embarrassing! Am I so sentimental?
"Just now... my eyes felt a little uncomfortable, Sister Martha, I'm sorry, I made fun of you."
Xia Yi felt very embarrassed. She turned around and quickly wiped away her tears, feeling a little awkward.
"..."
Martha stared at Xia Yi's back and fell into silence.
"Sister Martha, your skills are beyond my expectations."
Xia Yi adjusted her state and faced Martha again.
"I just happened to make some extra osmanthus cake. If you don't mind, please take some back."
"Dislike? How is that possible? I just like it the most——"
Xia Yi swallowed the rest of her words and changed her words:
"I mean, the taste of osmanthus cake is quite good."
"Thank you for your compliment, Miss Xia Yi." Martha smiled.
……
"Miss, why did you take such a long detour to come to this city? If we return late, won't the family be angry?"
"..."
"Miss?"
"Nothing, I just want to go to a place called Spring Breeze Orphanage to take a look."
14 Hungry
"Ahahahaha! The chicken soup is here!"
George walked into the restaurant with a pot of chicken soup and put it on the table.
"Everyone come and have a taste, this is made by me!"
"Uncle George, are you a good cook?" the children asked.
"Humph, I've been training hard, and my cooking skills have been recognized by Teacher Martha. If you don't believe me, come and try it!"
George immediately used a spoon to scoop out a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of the child who had just raised the question.
Under the gaze of everyone, the child drank the chicken soup with an expression of enjoyment on his face. After tasting it, he was still reluctant to eat more and kept smacking his lips.
"How is it?" asked the children next to them.
"This chicken soup is very delicious!" The children gave it a high evaluation after tasting it.
"Uncle George, I want some chicken soup too!" the children shouted together.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, everyone will have a share."
George said as he filled another bowl and placed it in front of Xia Yi.
"Ms. Xia Yi, please try it!"
"it is good."
Xia Yi was also a little surprised. This guy George actually learned to cook?
She tasted it too.
Surprisingly ok.
"OK."
"Haha, what an honor!" George laughed happily.
Afterwards, Martha and other teachers from Chunfeng Orphanage brought out the remaining dishes and dinner began.
There are a variety of dishes on the table, so there is no problem in supplementing the children's nutrition.
It’s indeed much better than before.
At that time, Xia Yi and other friends had little to eat, and meat was rare. They only had a chance to eat it during festivals.
"Ms. Xia Yi, do you think these are to your liking?" Martha asked, "They may be a little different from what you usually eat."
"Well, I think it's pretty good!"
"You are really a little different from ordinary nobles." Martha sighed.
"Have it?"
"That's right!" George agreed, "Miss Xia Yi is not arrogant at all. She is completely different from those nobles who are arrogant and look down on others!"
Xia Yiyou didn't know how to explain it.
After all, a noble with a little status would definitely not get along with commoners like she did.
Human nobles naturally believe that they are superior to ordinary people, and looking down on others is the most normal attitude.
On the contrary, people like Xia Yi are abnormal.
"This shows that Miss Xia Yi has received a good education and has excellent qualities." Martha helped Xia Yi smooth things over.
"Yes! Indeed, I think Miss Xia Yi will achieve extraordinary success in the future!" George agreed deeply.
"I think too, Sister Xia Yi is amazing!"
